WV

I've had a few comments over the years about the difficulty of word verification, especially with the latest changes.

I've found by accident that you only need to type in the word......and if I can't read one, I just click to get a new one until I find one I can read!

I thought of removing it, but 1. I'm wary.....and 2. I can't find the place to change it!!!

So for now, it stays....and just leave a pebble in the pool if you don't comment...((o))

(thanks to Zhoen for the inspiration) it is nice to see where you are all from.

Barbara Rogers said...: Since I'm the one who asked you to remove it, I'll speak up one more time. There is still moderation available without Word Verification, under blogger. And I did chase down how to remove it, because others asked me to, and said there was still enough spam detection that it would catch problems. So far that's been true for me. Instructions? From the blog "dashboard" chose settings, and look under them for "Posts and Comments" Scroll down and under moderation chose "always". Keep going and under Show Word Verification chose "no",
I will continue to read your blog anyway. Thanks for sharing.; 4 February 2013 at 22:24

Zhoen said...: I have done very well without WV, by jumping on spam quickly - marking it through blooger's tool. I figure if I have a problem, I can always turn it on again for a while. These things tend to run in phases.; 5 February 2013 at 02:42
jffollies said...: Well I have been reading your blog for ages and after 5 or more attempts at verification I give up.So many blogs I would like to comment on and really like are too hard to comment on.I do love following your adventures.; 5 February 2013 at 11:32
